only 3 benchmarks game tasks still have no Clojure programs

[Isaac Gouy]

Only 3 tasks on the computer language benchmarks game still have no
Clojure programs -


1) meteor-contest

http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/u32q/benchmark.php?test=meteor


2) chameneos-redux

http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/u32q/benchmark.php?test=chameneosredux


3) pidigits

I notice that the fastest Java version of pidigits uses a native library named "jpargmp". Is there documentation somewhere that spells out how and when you are allowed to use native libraries and still claim to be written in language X?

If the standard language X implementation wraps the native library,
are the programs you write in language X using the wrapped
functionality of the native library written in language X?

If the standard language implementation for language X wraps a native
library, providing that functionality to all language X programs, why
should language Y programs be prevented from using that same native
library?


"In addition to language specific multiprecision arithmetic, we will
accept programs that use GMP."

As a practical matter, presumably the same wrapper could be used from
Clojure?

Yes, I should think so. Thanks for the pointer to the rules, I missed it when reading the first time.
